Benefit of Adding Panitumumab to Maintenance Therapy in mCRC with Non-mutated RAS Oncogene
PANAMA was the first randomized study evaluating the addition of an anti-EGFR antibody to maintenance therapy with fluorouracil and folic acid (FU/FA) in patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) with a non-mutated (wt − wild-type) RAS oncogene. The results suggest that upon achieving disease control after initial treatment with FOLFOX + panitumumab, the combination of panitumumab with FU/FA might be the most suitable for maintenance therapy.
